Here is another card sample that I made for the recent run of Spellbinders shows on Create and Craft TV using the Decorative Labels 28 die set.
To create the clock I used the standard circles set and cut an aperture in the larger of the Decorative Labels 28 as I cut the label. The cardstock that I used was already printed with a wood grain which I thought looked really nice.
I then created another layer behind this with smaller circles on gold cardstock.
I printed a clock face from my PC and stuck this behind some acetate, which I also cut out using the circle dies.
The lower level of the clock was cut from a smaller die from the Decorative Labels 28 die set.
I used two different backgrounds papers to which I added some shading on the corners in order to town it down a little.
The danglers were created from some jewellery components and stuck to the card using Pinflair 3D glue before applying the upper layer.

John, that’s so cool! I do a bit of beading and wire work jewellery and I’ve been wondering if I could incorporate any of it into card design. This shows that I could. I wish I was talented like you, thanks for the great blog, I really enjoy them, and I look forward to seeing you on C&C again soon…just keep away from Nigel, who seems to want to cover you in glitter lol

Hi John
When I saw this on c&c I was and still am in awe of your creativity. I adore this card. I love how realistic it looks and the golden jewellery danglers really make the card work more. You are amazing. Love the wood grain effect card stock. i think you could make real clocks using battery operated clockfaces using this card then you’d have a card and gift in one. Unfortunately that’s a bit too complicated for me! Anyhow if you are looking for Xmas gift ideas its a thought!
Best wishes from Katie-Louise sweetlove
